Hey everyone! Following on from my last post, I was re-watching some of
my favourite fashion shows over the years at New York Fashion Week. Diane von
Furstenberg fall 2013 stood out for me as one of the most fun, cool and hippy
collections of that season and so I thought I would share it with you, and you
can decide for yourself if, like me, you’re a fan!
The glamour and power of 70's boho chic clearly influenced Diane Von
Furstenberg for fall 2013. As she presented her womenswear collection at New
York fashion week, the scrutinising front row of editors and buyers alike all
seemed to loosen up a bit as Chaka Khan blared out of the sound system and had
many a foot tapping. Furstenberg, a key fixture at New York fashion week,
delivered a fun, energetic collection mixed with 70's glamour and colour
clashing statement pieces. The models, all with beautiful blow dried, billowing
hair, strutted down the catwalk enthusiastically, with some even smiling here
and there, big wide grins! That was enough to put me in a good mood!
As with the clothes, colour was a main feature in her fall show with
reds, pinks and monochrome prints taking centre stage. Halter-neck silk printed
jumpsuits came in burgundy and black, knee length dresses moved effortlessly
and key hole shift dresses tied at the waist looked very Halston circa the
1970's. Frankly, this collection was Bianca Jagger + Studio 54 to the max! 70's
style done in the 21st century way, cool yet simplistic. Metallics were
also thrown into the mix with shoulder padded gold blazers and skinny silver
snakeskin pants along with leopard printed trousers and fitted high waisted
skirts which added a touch of sophistication to the collection. The wrap dress
was updated in an elegant monochrome pattern, tied neatly at the waist and
dropping appropriately to the knee while the show ended with floor length
evening gowns in electric blue and terracotta.
My favourite look of the collection was a beautiful blue floor length
dress that floated effortlessly down the catwalk. Mind you, you'd have to have
some guts to wear this particular dress as low cut and with a very daring thigh
split, it's not one for the faint hearted! Nevertheless, the jewel colour of
the blue and the thick tasseled belt looked amazing together. The snakeskin
bags also caught my eye. As stylish and chic as they were, they were also big
enough to carry all ones work clutter and hot enough to flaunt at a party (and
it's not everyday you find a bag like that!) I love DVF!!
